The only question you have to ask yourself is how many people in the army will follow unjust orders and fight against the public it is sworn to protect. How long before people begin to wake up and follow the dots? Will the public be so stupid to be lead to the slaughter?

So long as the government has leverage in the form of something like, "You follow our orders and we'll take care of you and your family. Otherwise you'll be like everyone else and have live under our complete control." There will always be people who fill the government's roles out of desire or shear necessity; they are doing a good job of keeping the poverty level high and instilling the idea that "going in the military is a great opportunity that will help get your life on track by providing better opportunities than living in poverty."
Unfortunately, even if people begin to connect the dots it may be too late by the time they see the big picture. Even then, what happens when the clockwork is already set in motion? I believe the question we should be asking is, "when will it be too late?"
To provide a quote from a Mirror's Edge Mobile,
"
Once this city used to pulse with energy; dirty and dangerious, but alive and wonderful. Now it is something else. The changes came slowly at first, most did not realize or did not care, and accepted them. They chose the comfortable life.
Sure it's from a mobile game, but it is the truth! Once the comfortable option is accepted, people don't care about tyranny until it is too late.
